Summary

This study assesses the impact of a hepatitis C care coordination program on rates of linkage to hepatitis C care following release from New York City jails. Adult patients (age 18 years and above) with chronic Hepatitis C infection at Bellevue Hospital Center 19 North prison clinic from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 will be offered participation in a transitional care coordination program. The rates of linkage of these individuals following release from jail will be compared to a historical cohort of adult patients with chronic Hepatitis C infection at the 19 North prison clinic from January 1, 2014 through June 31, 2015.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Research transitional care coordination

Though care coordination was offered to all HCV positive inmates who are approached,the care coordination will still constitute a research intervention that requires informed consent, rather than a new uniform standard of care, to allow maximum autonomy for this incarcerated population.
